BHPian ![]() | ![]() @hellstar & @lloydofcochin: Thanks for the update ![]() I am still in process to understand different routes to ooty. Just a small question - Is Segur ghat comes in kalahatty route? Truly speaking, I am bit confused now, what I understand, there are 3 routes to Ooty - 1. B'lore - Mysore - Gundalpet - Bandipur - Masinagudi - Ooty 2. B'lore - Mysore - Chamrajnagar - Kotigiri - Ooty 3. B'lore - Krishnagiri - Dharampuri - Salem - Coonnor - Ooty Please correct me If I am wrong, also which route is safe and best to travel irrespective of distance? My plan is to start at 4:30AM on 14Aug to reach by max 1 PM to ooty. Please advise? Last edited by vinay.pillai : 6th August 2009 at 09:16. |

There are lot many threads here with Oooty route info, search if you need more info BTW, I am also traveling to Ooty on 14th morning, plan is to start by 6 from Bangalore - Uphill via Masangudi and return via Gudallur. One more info - Both the roads are closed (bandipur stretch) for traffic after 9 PM from yesterday, there are lot of talks going around this and situation may change, so keep a tab Last edited by gadadhar : 6th August 2009 at 16:38. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() @gadadhar: Thanks for the info. I have gone through so many threads of Ooty that I got confused ![]() Infact my first plan was to visit Pepper Green Resort(suggested by you in your thread) but it is running full starting Aug 15. If you don't mind sharing, where are you planning to stay in Ooty. I have checked 2/3 hotel + resort but nothing is confirmed yet. But will finalize one by tonight. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() You can also try Sterling Resorts in Ooty, they have two resorts, one at Elk Hill and the other at Fern Hill, pretty decent accomodation and service. |

Please send me a PM once you have confirmed, we can try to meet-up during the drive. Also there are some good homestays around coonoor (can serach in Team BHP for some references) Last edited by gadadhar : 6th August 2009 at 18:38. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thanks for the all information friends, My friend who was planning to accompany me is not coming now. So will be travelling with my wife. And luckily I got confirmation from Hotel Savoy just now. I was in waiting list there. Even I have booked the Train tkt for Ooty - Coonor and back on 14 afternoon. So just hope that everything goes fine. Till now, everything will be surprise for my wife, she is not aware of train journey etc. @gadadhar: So now I am in same hotel as yours. So we can plan to travel together if you are fine and no other plans. Last edited by vinay.pillai : 7th August 2009 at 00:02. |
